Food slut
People say great food is like great sex. But after two years of reviewing trendy restaurants, chatting with charming chefs, and indulging in fatted duck breast, I've lost my appetite.

  • The economics of food porn

    It just occured to me that what may be behind the trend of 'more pictures, less information' in the food journalism (and perhaps all other aspects of journalism) is simple economics.

    It may be much cheaper and easier to get digital pictures (and all the ease of sizing and placement that the media implies) than to pay people to write words.

    Just a thought.
